Lime, cut grass, citrusy sweetness, lemon tart, and lemon drops create an unusual profile, perhaps due to the introduction of peat smoked oak into the finishing process. The palate is smooth, slightly candied but not overly sweet, with chile spice that doesn't go overboard, along with vanilla and more citrus. A smoky note veers to barrel char on the back palate and precedes a tasty finish—light, lemony, and well-textured. (60,000 bottles)
